Happy Nouilles - I loved it - Chinese Near Me - Paris, 75

Ordered to go. Noodles were good. Pretty standard Szechuan style noodles that I expected. They don't speak English though. They speak French and mandarin. But they'll understand if you point at the menu. You could also order pick up on Uber. Pick up took a couple minutes as they were busy and there was a language barrier. When I came to pick up my order, they were pretty busy. It was a weekend night and they had even the outside seats full. I think D noodles 70 was a bit better in terms of taste though. Still a Solid, affordable noodles soup place in Paris that you can't go wrong with if you're craving some noodles and soup. read more

Happy Nouilles - Noodles! - Chinese Near Me - Paris, 75

This noodle restaurant could easily earn their 5th star....hire some more help. 5:30 on a Friday and business was brisk, presumably because their food is amazing. But 2 women running the place. One cooking (and rolling noodles in the front window as she goes) and one doing everything else. That's just not tenable when your food is this good. Invest in your restaurant, you've got something special here! read more

It's an OK spot for Chinese noodles. It is somewhat an institution with locals, given that noodles are hand-made right in the vitrine, to the point where there is a line of people waiting to be seated in the evenings and you might need to wait for 15-30 minutes before getting a spot, even as a small group. It is rather noisy and rather tight, but no complaints about the service. Big bottles of Tsingtao vouch for authenticity, but unfortunately the taste of the soup with noodles I got was a tad underwhelming. It is a decent Chinese, but it does not hold a candle to what you find in China, and is not even the best one I saw outside China. It's just OK. read more

Handmade Asian noodles and you could definitely taste how fresh it was. The soup had the perfect amount of flavor and there offer a variety of noodle and wonton dishes. I would not recommend getting anything that isn't soup based because I did see them using the microwave to heat up rice and hot items before serving them to the customers which was weird to me. Go for the noodle soups and you will be happy with your choice. The staff wasn't too friendly but maybe because it was pretty busy in there today. read more

There's a line or wait during dinner time. Seating space is comfortable enough but you may be a feet away from strangers tables since the place is so small. The food is worth it and delicious Chinese food! Beef noodle soup is a must try if you like beef. They gave plenty of meat and plenty of noodles. The noodles were super soft and handmade! The best I've had. People of all races come here. Very affordable 20€ for 2 beef noodle soups and the 3rd dish was dumplings! The dumplings were piping hot and tasty. read more

One of my better decisions for trying to find some authentic Chinese food in Paris! I highly recommend ordering their beef noodle soup with the hand pulled noodles. There were other native Chinese speakers in the restaurant and the owners were Chinese themselves. Two thumbs up, the soup stock had depth and it was a normal portion. I would definitely return again should I find myself in the city! Service could be friendlier, but hey I didn't come for that, as long as the food is good I'm satisfied. read more

Happy Nouilles - Chinese Near Me - Paris, 75

Location: In the heart of the Marais, a short walk from the Arts et Métiers station: The place: Hole in the wall with no wow factor. My table was dirty and the waiter did a half-added job of giving it a quick wipe down. The goods: Frankly, I don't know what the fuss is about. I ordered the soup with lamen and shrimp dumplings; the noodles were very starchy and the broth barely had any flavour to it. The dumplings were good and the shrimp were quite big. I wasn't blown away and have had much better soups here in Montreal. Service: What service? The waiter didn't smile once, and when he spoke, it was so low and under his breath that I had to make him repeat everything. While I ate, one of the other staff kept dumping shit in the other chair at my table or dumping chopsticks in a container on my table. No 'excuse me' - just go ahead and stick your arms in my face. Price point: 8.50€ read more

Happy Nouilles - Outside - Chinese Near Me - Paris, 75

Oo! This is an awesome noodle place! I've been here three times and when I was back in the states, I was still thinking about Happy Nouilles! The dishes are about 10 Euros or under, so it's easy on the wallet. The noodles are hand pulled and taste amazing. The first time we came, we shared the duck noodle soup which was excellent. The broth was very tasty and the noodles were perfect, with great springiness and chew. The meat was served on the bone though which I didn't care for, but it did taste good. My favorite dish is the Fillament Porc dish with the thick cut noodles; I'm not sure of the exact name. It's the middle dish of the last row of noodle items. It's outstanding! I love the crispy pork belly in it and the noodles are oh so good! The noodles are thick and chewy, and aren't uniform in shape. This is the dish I have ordered three times now! About half way through the dish, I do like to use the condiments on the side for a little extra punch as the taste is a little on the mild side. A little dash of the vinegar and the sriracha are nice to kick up the taste a bit, but it doesn't need it. It's still very good! Heads up: this place is cash only. read more

We spent a long day exploring Paris and knew that a bowl of fresh hot noodles would hit the spot. The hand pulled noodles with pork in soup and dumplings were amaaazing. The vermicelli noodles were alright, nothing special. We also had the pea shoot vegetables, but were not a fan of the flavor at all, too much fish sauce. This is a great spot if you know what to order! read more

So happy I stumbled upon this restaurant! The hand pulled noodles were delicious and chewy, and beef noodle soup was sure my favorite. Worth checking out! read more

Amazing fresh noodles! Really fresh as they're making them right in front of you. The potstickers were pretty good too, as was the beef noodle soup. We got the spicy beef noodle soup. There was a VERY strong flavor like cumin so that kind of ruined it for me but the noodles were so damn good I ate it anyway. It cleared my sinuses. Be warned tho, the restaurant is tiny, a hole in the wall. It is not set up for the amount of customers it gets. Their system is very confusing and chaotic. There was a line to order but then there was people just sitting down and ordering and there was another line for people trying to pay. Only one lady handles both lines and the phone. It was so tight and crowded in there that we ate with someone's ass on our table or in our face almost the whole time. This is definitely NOT a good place for groups or kids. Way too crowded and the tables are tiny. read more

We ended up here by accident. We were looking for pho and for some reason so Many places are closed on Sunday? Maybe holy day. So the 2 places we looked for pho..closed. We else's by this place and it was crowded outside. I walked Closer and see this Asian guy rolling and making fresh noodles in the window... ok we must go here it's like really fresh. We actually get seated since it was just 2 if us right next to the open kitchen in front. The restaurant was the size of a hallway somehow they jammed pack little tables and chairs in it. The table next to me was like less than a foot away. Talk about in intimate. But never The less the food was delicious. I got the shrimp wonton and Hubs got the spicy Sichuan with beef. Both has a good broth, some bok Choy in it. If your in the area i would recommend. read more

If you want a bowl of spicy beef noodle soup to warm you up from the cold, this is a really great place to come. It was inexpensive, the food was super fast, the noodles were fresh and handmade right in the front, and the food was delicious. I'd highly recommend this place if you want a break from French food and craving some Asian food / noodles. The place is small, so you may have to wait. We got lucky and didn't have to wait on a Sunday night for dinner around 8:00/8:30 pm, but the tables turnover rather quickly. This is best if you have 2-4 people in your party as the place is not very large and there is not a lot of room or big tables. For comparison of other Asian food in Paris, we had also eaten at Pates Vivantes and Kunitoraya - Bistro Udon for other noodle soups, and this one at Happy Nouilles was our favorite of the 3. All 3 places make their own fresh noodles right there, but this one was our favorite in terms of the dishes, quality, and price. The spicy beef noodle soup is one of their most popular dishes and for good reason - the broth is great, spicy, but not overly spicy where your tastebuds will burn off and you can't taste anything else, and not salty. The noodles were chewy and al dente, and the beef was well marinated, the texture was good, and had lots of flavor and spices. This is a traditional Taiwanese beef soup. We also got a stirfry dish of noodles and beef, which was also good. Not too many vegetables, but the sauce was good and the right amount, and we finished every little bit. We got the gyozas which I could go either way on. They were being made in the back and then brought out on a tray, and then warmed up in the microwave when you ordered them. The skin was a bit on the thicker side, but the gyozas were a decent size and not super small. They were good, but not sure I would necessarily get them again. Most the dishes are around 10€, and reasonable for the quantity of food you get. I'd definitely come back here! It's a great place if you like noodles and Asian food! read more

This is a great place to get quick-service food while in Paris, and especially great for anyone needing a break from French food. There is a huge Chinese population in Paris, making these noodles comparable with what you would get in other big cities with Chinese influence like New York. I personally think they are as good as the noodle spots I frequent in NYC. Chinese and French are spoken here, but for those not fluent in either, the menu/ordering system is intuitive and you will be fine. The chef is hand-pulling noodles right in the front window of the shop, which is always a good sign. I had the cold sesame noodles which was a hearty and most welcome VEGETARIAN option, and they were spicy, sweet, fresh, and chewy. Can't ask for much more from homemade noodles. Some reviews have mentioned greasy food, but I did not encounter anything too greasy, even in the few fried appitizers, I tried at our table. Like most fast-casual places in Paris, do not expect anything other than basic, sufficient service from the wait staff, and you will be pleased. Simply put, if you are craving really good & affordable Chinese noodles in Paris, this is a place you should go. Thank you for a great meal! read more

Very, very tasty fresh pulled noodles. We got the chicken ramen and the chicken stir fry noodles for dinner on a cold night. We ordered to go because the place was packed and we were staying nearby. The wait was a bit long but so with. The chicken was crispy and savory, and the broth was rich and flavorful. The place is not good for large groups though. And you might have to flag someone down just to get a seat. But again the food was so worth it. read more

Its embarrassing but I've been here 5 times since discovering this place just 3 weeks ago. It's a small Chinese restaurant and if I hadn't read the reviews online, I probably just would've walked right past it like I do for most of the other Asian restaurants in the area. They hand-make their noodles and they are seriously so delicious! At only 6.90€ for a bowl of noodles..it is such a satisfying dinner! I've tried the "Sichuan", the lamb, beef, and the porc haché. Sichuan is a spicy broth and it comes with beef brisket but sometimes they give more tendon then meat which I dont like at all. The broths for lamb and beef are the same but I always ask them to make it spicy and its always the perfect balance! The only thing is, for the porc haché, the broth is a spicy miso broth and its so delicious but extremely salty so be prepared to add water to it yourself in order to dilute it. My favorite pairing with the noodles is by far the lamb. They also have really cheap beer and delicious looking stir fried noodles with their homemade noodles which I need to try at some point. Their nems (egg rolls) are average but they also under-fry it and so you get a bit of the dough-y wrapping that isn't completely cooked all the way through. So glad I found this place, its so close to wear I live! The noodles here are comparable and if not better than most I've had while living in Vancouver and California (which is kinda a big deal). read more

Happy Nouilles - Porc haché with spicy miso broth - Chinese Near Me - Paris, 75

This was our first meal at Paris. A bowl of noodle after a long flight, it really hit the spot. The reason why I didn't give it a 5 star was the ridiculous wait time. Form the time we sat down to when we each got our noodles, we waited for 45 minutes. For 4 hungry souls, it was painful... once we did get the noodles though, it was very good. Not so good that it made the wait worth it, but good enough to not disappoint us. The noodles were entirely handmade there in the restaurant, it's kinda fun to watch. The noodles are very chewy and fresh, it's also not full-flour noodles. The mixed wheat gave it as peacock taste. I ordered the fat noodles while my other friends ordered the long, regular ones. Aside from the noodles, we also ordered seaweed and pot stickers. Both were very good. We live very close, so it's a 10-min walk. Definitely coming back! read more

I come to Paris and the first meal I have is Chinese? Yes, because this place is excellent, incredible, and authentic. My boyfriend and I have been a bit disappointed with the availability of really good Chinese places in London. We specifically came here based on the reviews, price, and it's location to our apartment. I am so happy this was our first meal here because it was so delicious, I was tempted to eat here every day. I had my boyfriend order everything in Mandarin and the menu is only in French or Mandarin so I'm not sure how English-speaking friendly this place is but I would still recommend it. The noodles are worth any language barrier! I can't decide what is the best part of the meal; rich soup base, soft noodles, or melt in your mouth beef. And together you get a balanced, perfect beef noodle dish. I felt like I was back in Asia eating at a little family run noodle shop serving the best quality, absolutely delicious noodles. I recommend the third noodle type (counting from left to right on the menu, thinner cut) as it is the easiest to eat. But you really can't go wrong with any dish or noodle type here, I highly HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

This place was being on an episode of No Reservations. We walked in off the cold sidewalk and inside was a hot steamy mess of people, noodles being flung around, bowls of soup being carried past the massive line of folks waiting for a table, and not a single person working there who seemed to speak more than a few words of English. Absolute mayhem. We ordered by pointing, and had some of the best spicy beef noodle soup I've ever had. I've got no idea what we actually ordered, as it was all based on pointing at pictures, but... we all got something different and it was all really great. I think the secret sauce here is the noodles which they make by hand in the front window. I'd rate the noodles a 10 out of 5 stars, with everything else playing a supporting role. Very, very happy we decided to wander in here. read more

Authentic, home-made and extremely tasty are some of the adjectives that come to mind. The reason why I'm giving Happy Nouilles "only" four stars is because some of the dishes required an extra "kick" and some additional seasoning to be absolutely perfect. The noodles themselves however, are perfect - fresh and cooked to slightly chewy perfection. As Europe is, generally speaking, a proverbial desert as far as good Asian cuisine is concerned, I recommend visiting Happy Nouilles if you have a chance. read more

Happy Nouilles - Main entrance - Chinese Near Me - Paris, 75

We chanced upon this restaurant seeing it was packed to the brim first then noticed a Chinese man pulling noodles at the window. In we went and ordered an appetizer of marinated kelp salad and mains of spicy beef noodles soup and shrimp dumplings soup. Kelp salad was average, slightly sourish, a little bit of spice, but manageable to most I believe. €5. The noodles took a while to arrive given it was all done by 1 man to make the noodles and another lady to cook them. Portions in general was generous. The beef noodles weren't that spicy after all. Soup lacked depth but could be fixed up with the additional vinegar and chilli paste on the side. Beef was a little tough. €6.90 Shrimp dumplings (7 big ones) were big but had a lot of excess dumpling skin. Anyway they were pretty tasty, with chopped bamboo shoots within to add texture. The soup was light and had lots of bok choy for added healthy benefits. €7.90 overall, comfort food for the Chinese! There were lots of them in the restaurant :-) Lots of other stuff on the menu which I would love to come back and try. read more

Came here for lunch with the mother on Easter Monday having enjoyed the noodles here last summer. It seems quite popular with the locals and Chinese students and it's easy to see why--their hand pulled noodles is excellent and from €6.90 for a massive bowl, really affordable too. I like that you can pick your type of noodles and that they have (nian gao, a sort of glutinous rice cake), a very Shanghainese 'noodle' that you can't find at many other places! We ordered the (Bagu--pork rib hand pulled noodles) and (Louvé--five spice beef hand cut noodles). Both were pretty good. I think they use the same broth but the soup that came with the pork ribs somehow tasted meatier. It's not the most flavoursome soup, but still good enough to come back for especially with the noodles! The texture of the hand pulled noodles was great and the ribs were tender. Would definitely order this again! The beef noodles comes with thinly sliced beef that has tendony bits (not everyone's cup of tea) & it's not as well seasoned as the pork ribs imo. The cut noodles was nice and chewy but sometimes too thick so you could taste the doughiness :( And the serving was wayyy too much! After eating my fill it looked like I still had a whole bowl of noodles left (and I ate lots), good or bad thing I guess. We also got the fried dumplings, but really should've passed on them. They were pretty bad--the skin was too thick, the meat inside was not seasoned, it had the texture of dense Chinese meatballs and worst of all, they were soggy. No one likes soggy fried food. Plusssss, they're pre-fried and sit in a display case next to pre-made summer rolls and other ingredients already prepared. Should've noticed that when we walked in! Overall, the dishes are either hit or miss but I'll be coming back because it's an easy, comfortable place with no pretense. Good, fuss-free Chinese food at a good read more

I really wanted some noodle soup after eating two weeks of pastas and pizzas and bread. This place fit the bill. I had the spicy Szechuan beef noodle soup, and it was decent. The broth itself was merely okay, and the beef had a slight burnt taste as if the braising liquid was running dangerously low. The legit part and the reason why this place got 3 Stars are in the noodles themselves. The noodles are made fresh at the shop, and they are chewy and delicious. If the beef broth and the beef were better, this experience would have been stellar. read more

I loved the beef pan fried hand cut noodles. Noodles were thick and chewy, cut in some asymmetric forms . With nice beef My friends ordered the sze chuan (?) beef noodle soup and the dried pork noodles. Both were very delivious. Another one was so-so pork soup noodle that I forgot the name because it was so-so The lady spoke good English and recommended us the right food.

This is a solid place if you're looking for good noodles at an affordable price. While in Paris I wanted to try every type of cuisine possible so I figured what will be better and having Chinese noodles from people who spoke French. Ironically this is my first time encountering a Chinese person who spoke Mandarin, English, and French. That was very unique. Upon entering the greeted me quickly and set me promptly. Next they provided the menu. This isn't A fancy place you will take your grandma (unless she's cool as heck and doesn't mind Great mom and pop food at a place that looks mom and pop ish). The food came out quickly and although it was it Ritz- Carlton type of dining, for their price I would definitely do it!

I was walking by this place and knew I had to go here. Just had to. As I was walking by there was a guy in the window hand-pulling noodles and that in and of itself is pretty epic. So, I stopped back the next day to check it out. First things first, this place gets packed. So, go early like 5 for dinner. Otherwise it gets nutty. Also, the service is not this places strong suit. The noodles are pretty good. The gyoza are tasty. The menu has all you could possibly want. All-in-all a great little stopover in Paris. read more

Food here is fantastic, service is fast and accommodating, and the value is pretty unbeatable. I went here twice during my trip to Paris, and ordered their 拉面，红烧茄子，糖醋排骨，炒拉面. (Pull noodle soup, eggplant, sweet sour pork, and stir fry noodles). All of them are great, but the lamian/lull noodle Szechuan soup are definitely standouts. They have ample seating area and are attentive in bringing more water. If you're around Pompidou this is a fantastic place to grab lunch or dinner! I spoke to them in Chinese, but they can definitely accommodate English too. read more

Review is based on take-out or I think they call it takeaway here in Paris (not sure in French). This was my first meal in Paris and kind of hesitant to buy Chinese food when you're in Paris but it was like past 9pm and not much was open at this hour on a Sunday. Ordered sweet and sour chicken, stir-fried noodles, sliced beef and bok choy veggies with garlic. It definitely had a different flavor when compared with typical chinese food in the US. Stir fried noodles was probably about the same. I was too hungry to take photos but the dishes weren't "instagramable" worthy anyway. 3 stars - Food was tasty enough but not remarkable. Service was fast. Portions were on the small side for the price (or maybe that's typical). I don't know if the experience is different if you dine in. read more

I came here at least once a week when I studied abroad in Paris. I'm Chinese-American, don't really speak French, but speak conversational Mandarin. Honestly my French was so bad I think I used more Mandarin in the department stores and restaurants I went to. Chinese restaurants seem to be pretty typical all over the world. This place is located in a small Chinese community in the 3rd arrondissement. French food is great, but since I grew up eating Chinese food and I'm from San Francisco, not having a steady stable of Chinese restaurants really made my tastebuds homesick and was the only negative of my study abroad experience. Also this place was cheap compared to other places. I mean I do like steak and frites but I don't want to shell out $25 dollars for a meal every time I eat out. The average price here is less than 10 euros, but you do have to pay cash [Food] Guess the French can forgo their 法国大餐 and go down for some wholesome beef noodle soup. Add a bit of a spice and I felt like I was back home sitting at my Grandma's dinner table. Order the beef noodle soup and potstickers! I also like soymilk and always ordered that here. [Service] Happy Nouilles can get pretty packed. Food comes out really quick though. I became friends with this one waiter. We bonded over being Chinese-French and Chinese-American. There is one lady who seems to run the place, and she is really efficient. If I come back to Paris I might consider seeking this place out just to see if the friendly restaurant owners remember me. If you're looking for some authentic Chinese food in Paris, give this place a try! read more

Authentic Chinese noodles that's reasonably priced. Service is so-so as no one seems to speak English. We came about 4:30pm for a really late lunch, so we beat the crowds.
